I agree with those below. It looks like the intersection of Broadway and Dot Ave. If Birth of A Nation is playing (1915), then this is just before the land got taken by the Boston Elevated Railway to build Broadway Station. You are looking west from the old Sunoco gas station site towards what is now the MBTA yards under the Broadway Bridge.

That explains the angle of the Berger Building in relation to the Broadway Bridge. This site is now a "park" that is over the MBTA terrorist / fire / bad things / training center in the old street car station that is between the street level and the subway.

Wherever Bergy was , he should be here and now , on B street or sometwhere close by. That stuff made a comeback and is beau coup expensive.. All the stores had these types of ceilings. I got a few sheets to put over my wood stove , ouch$$$$$ , there went my First Communion money, plus some.

Here is some examples from a place still , as the LLC'ers say , DBAing.......

The building that says Women, is yes a comfort station. The junk yard to the right was owned by someone name Crosby in 1919.

The undecorated brick building to the left was the City of Boston Bridge Department and out of the picture to the left was a fire station. They stayed up even after the tunnel was placed under the buildings.
